  • Page 74 • Tilt Adjustment Button on the Display Figure 5.6 5.7.5.2 Adjusting the Boat's Trim Angle When the boat is planing, raising the bow appropriately reduces resistance, improves stability, and enhances efficiency. Typically, the boat's centerline is raised by 3° to 5°. If the bow is raised too far, the boat tends to turn to one side or the other, requiring compensation during steering.
  • Page 75 Excessive inward trim makes the boat "plow" through the water, leading to difficulty in acceler- ating. Running at high speeds with excessive inward trim can also make the boat unstable.
